No it pauses the timer. Once I dismiss the popup I can see that the pause button icon has been replaced with the continue/play icon. Clicking it unpauses the timer until the popup pops up again.

Microsoft had made a product that has for decades been used to run other people's software. They've unintentionally made windows a "monopoly" in the sense that no other os can run windows only software perfectly. Most consumers will probably think Linux " is just a terminal and too advanced", and the others who can install a distro might still be locked into using windows because not all software can run under wine.

So to you they might seem overconfident in that you can switch, but for some they're shit out of luck in the department of alternatives. Microsoft knows they can exploit their users, and they will do it

I'd imagine it's to force me to sign in to use the timer. Shittify the version that can't track as much, and force the users to use it logged in

From my experience I've had to deal with their ~~software~~ adware for which I've had to close pop ups and upsell ads before I could do anything with their printers, so that might be why it takes long to print a simple page

Im generally against hate, but I do think that Google, Microsoft and other numerous companies should go to hell for their shitty practices :3

I used to dual boot pop os and windows, but stopped once I had too many issues trying to run non Linux native software trough wine. Once I'll get my workflow Linux ready, I think I'll use some distro with KDE

I'd say it fits for both as I'm leaving windows for some Linux distro

I have moved my laptop over to kubuntu for a while now, but I have too many workflows that rely on windows ) :

Here's one of the Norwegian sources

I think our government is finally pushing back after the constant bullying and sabotages Russia have been doing to our infrastructure.

It's burning from the scorching hot insults we throw at it.

Here's my insult to feed the sun

Youre trying to be the center of attention, but really you're just a big ball of gas with a serious ego problem, and you don't see it because you're blinded by yourself.

Next time change the delivery to a postnord delivery box. Most of then are pretty close to housing, and you can pick it up any time you want

I don't know how it is in other countries, but if you call an ambulance because you want a free ride to the hospital in Norway you get a hefty fine for wasting emergency resources. Doesn't the US have the same kind of laws stopping people from using ambulances as ubers. If not, then that's how make the ambulance free for people who need it, and really expensive for people who don't.
